More than 1,000 people have signed a petition in favour of a town centre wine bar extending its music licence.

Y Delyn wine bar on King Street in Mold is currently allowed to play live music until 11pm, but the management hope to extend this by two hours until 1am.

An online petition has been set up and has so far had 1,028 signatures from supporters across the UK and as far away as Australia, Portugal and Italy.

Almost 350 messages of support have also flooded in to the online petition pages with supporters urging Flintshire County Council to grant the extended license to the bar which has been described as the “heart of Mold”.

The petition states: “The wine bar wants to create more and regular quality live music nights, in addition to what we already have.”

It adds: “We need your support to help us persuade the relevant authorities that the wine bar is a valuable, loved and needed establishment in Mold.”

The bar’s management team claim that if the license is not granted that the “life force” of the venue will be “suffocated” and it will “cease to exist”.

They also say that they are desperate to create more live music nights in the future, but they will be unable to do this if the licence is not approved by the council.

Personal representations regarding the application can be made to Flintshire County Council until Wednesday, May 13, by emailing licensing@flintshire.gov.uk.
